It is a Grade 2 but made in Fulton, it is still a pre-13 Smith. There are a number of features that are the indicators. The rounded front of the forend lug, the dog escutchion in the forend, the shape of the forend tip inlay, the engraving pattern on the locks and the lack of wings filed under the action. It is a shame about the barrels but still a very pretty gun.
